M.A. Program in Theatre Education

The Master of Arts in Theatre Education -- MATE -- degree program is the newest of five graduate theatre programs offered by the Department of Drama. The MATE degree program is the only one of its kind in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

This program has helped me in so many ways. I became a more creative teacher, experimenting with new strategies to help motivate students. I became more confident and creative as a director of children's theatre, particularly through my thesis project...Arts integration emphasizes teaching the child as a whole person. This program has done the same for me, and I am better for it.
